My first Christmas present is arrived!!!!......do you remember the chocolate cake with roses?well: this is what I've got from my friend Francesca.FOUR very old gretings cards with flowers... you know I'm an avid collector..they're so beautiful, with a past feeling....

This days are very busy... lots of things to do and no more time!! In Italy we celebrate the evening of the 24th with a family dinner...this year we would be 11 people and I'm the official chef !...like every year!!!!!I'm devoted to choose the menu, (together with my sister), the table setting and decorations.My house is too small so we'll stay to my sister flat that is much larger than mine.. she live close to me.. same landing. so it's easy!!!!
